Mercedes Unveils Its Vision EQS Electric Super Car

The Vision EQS appears to have the design, luxury, and driving range to match anything in the electric space

By Lawrence Ulrich

Mercedes-Benz has apparently seen the light on electric vehicles, including a vow to create an entirely carbon-neutral fleet of new cars by 2040. And EV fans will definitely see the light of its new Vision EQS, a concept sedan whose groundbreaking “Digital Light” headlamps are an integral part of its networked safety systems.

Mercedes unveiled the Vision EQS Tuesday at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It’s a dramatically styled sedan with an equally dramatic driving-range claim: Up to 700 kilometers (435 miles), based on lab testing under Europe’s new WLPT test cycle, which is designed to generate more-realistic estimates of real-world EV efficiency.

If Mercedes can speed a production version of the EQS to market, that 700 km would make it the marathon champ of current EV’s, topping the 595 km of the Tesla Model S and Model X Long Range versions. It would also be a significant, 250-km range advantage over the 2020 Porsche Taycan, which has posted a 450-km WLPT estimate. The EQS’s range would put it more than 350 km beyond the demands of stricter U.S. EPA measures.

A 350 kilowatt ultra-fast charging system, similar to the Porsche’s, allows an 80-percent charge in 20 minutes or less.

With roughly 100 kilowatt-hours of batteries packaged underfloor, and electric motors at both axles, the EQS can vary all-wheel-drive power between front or rear wheels. Mercedes pegs output at roughly 350 kW (469 horsepower), with 759 Newton-meters (560 pound-feet) of torque—good for a 0 to 100 km/h (0-60 mph) surge in less than 4.5 seconds.

The first all-electric Mercedes, the EQC crossover SUV, is already on sale in Europe, and arrives in America next year as a 2021 model. This Vision EQS, being an auto-show concept, is designed as both a showstopper and as an intriguing teaser for Mercedes’ latest designs and technology. The body previews the brand’s streamlined “One Bow” design language that will influence several upcoming models. Inside, a series of projection displays form an unbroken, floating sculpture for the dashboard that recalls the cockpit of a luxury yacht. Maple wood trim combines with sustainable materials, including microfiber made from recycled PET bottles; and a roof liner whose textile includes recycled plastic from ocean waste. [READ MORE]
